really exist... according to My Pet Chicken ... but who knew!!! i think i have entirely too much time on my hands, when i'm reading about chicken diapers....came across this on MEEVEE .... its Jamie Oliver ( the chef from England) and his bit about the mass 'farming' of chickens... Go Jamie Go!!!! these practices are in England, but i know its not much different here in north america... UGH... no wonder i love free range 'real' chickens... and when i return i hope to have more chicks coming.... speaking of which... i saw pics of my lovely poomba the pig... and the 'girls' in their new home... they look very happy and contented!!!

another 'happy' note.... guess what i got!!! a 'new to me' sewing machine... for a whole $15.00 everything included... sighhhh except for the bobbin!! so i've not yet tried it out... but i did plug it in... runs like a dream!!! i got to meet the lady who owned it, and it had just been to the 'machine doctor' before she put it in the garage sale...

A message from your sponsor... (ahem) not really......

but a message from my heart... if from this blog, only one person garners information and utilizes it in their lives, then i've accomplished what i wished....in our rush to become 'high tech' we as a society are losing our ability to be self sufficient or at least 'practical' and somewhat independent souls... nothing is more satisfying than eating a fresh tomato off the vine, or gathering an egg from a chicken that you've tended from chickhood or even inhaling the deep earthy scents after a warm summer rain..... enjoy
